Colorado school board member stands by castration remarks

Article here. Excerpt:
'A member of a rural Colorado school board isn’t backing down from her comments at a recent meeting suggesting that transgendered boys should be castrated if they want to use the girls’ restroom.
“I’m taking a stand,” Delta School District 50J board member Kathy Svenson is reported as saying by the Denver Post. “It will not happen here without a change in plumbing.”
Colorado made headlines several months ago when the state Civil Rights Division ruled that students could use the restroom for whichever gender they identified with. The ruling was in the case of a 6-year-old who was born a male but who identifies as female.
The Post reported that Svenson doesn’t believe in homosexuality or people who are transgender, saying they’re just confused. She told the Western Slope Watchdog website that she is more interested in protecting girls than in accommodating transgender students.'

I agree. . .
. . . that transgender students should not have the right to use the opposite gender's washroom. But these remarks are beyond tasteless, especially for a school official. I hope she gets canned, and soon.
